Great! I will try that now.
[Epic 4G Themes] MysteryEmotionz:
From reading the comments on the update it looks like it does more harm then good. I may hold off on 1.5.2 and I think I'm gonna put facebook back into data/app on future releases
[Epic 4G Themes] hayzooos:
Gotchya. They sound like pretty important files, so I wasn't sure if removing them would've let the theme flash or not.

So if I wipe everything, reflash SFR I'll have it kind of back where it was. I didn't backup system data from before the theme, so I'm guessing that's my only course of action. I do have the apps backed up via Mybackup Root, but I'm also wondering if that will restore the save points in games, like Angry Birds. I don't play it often so it's not a huge deal, but would be good to know.

Is there a better way to get the changes I want (dialer, miren, swype, etc.) than to remove everything I don't want from the whole theme zip file then flashing it?
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
Imho, its easier to take those 3 apps you want and adb push then to system/app :)

Sent from a truly Epic phone on the XDA Premium app ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] hayzooos:
Cool, I was thinking the same thing, but I've never used adb before, so I'll have to look into that as well. Thanks for all your help and the quick responses!
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
No problem! Let me know if you need anything else :D
[Epic 4G Themes] hayzooos:
Since I got ya here...

In terms of backing up...what do you suggest? I have both Mybackup Root and Titanium Backup. They both seem to serve a good purpose, but it seems like I'd like to keep both of them around.

I like TB because you can freeze system things without really removing them (like the DRM stuff). I've read here MBR is the best one for actually backing things us, so that's what I'm going to go with.

However, there are quite a few options when backing up. With MBR, I'm assuming applications and media are probably the best as data I'm assuming is the system data, and if something goes wrong, that's not exactly what you want back on your system, right?

If I restore the Applications part, what part of the app comes back? Everything or will the app just be reinstalled to it's original state?
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
I personally like TB the best, as you can back everything up, and then choose to restore just the app, just the data, or both. I also feel it's very user friendly.
[Epic 4G Themes] hayzooos:
So how about system data? Like for the problem (which was 100% my fault) I had about choosing a few items from a theme. If I had a system data backup, would I just be able to revert to that and then my phone would operate just like it did before I flashed part of the theme?

Is that option also available via TB?
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
No, neither app can do that. Only pushing the original files or flashing the rom again, or having a nandroid to restore can change that.
[Epic 4G Themes] hayzooos:
Ah, gotcha. Thanks a ton!!
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
No problem, no problem. Feel free to contact me if you need anything else.
[Epic 4G Themes] Flint420:
Running a backup from CWM will backup system and data. Great for restoring after flashing a theme that creates issues. Works great and only takes a few minutes. Also titanium is useful when you have issues with apps. You can wipe the data for the troubled app and then restore all your settings right back.
[Epic 4G Themes] hayzooos:
Right, using CWM to make a backup is a "nandroid" backup, correct? Even though I'm not 100% happy with the way everything looks right now (everything runs great) I'll have to re-flash the ROM to ensure everything is how I want it.

I'll probably make a nandroid backup from what I have now, just in case...
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
Correct, that is a nandroid :)
[Epic 4G Themes] hayzooos:
Right on, thanks again. I went through everything last night and after a few things that I had to remember/figure out, all is well on the homefront now. I'm still testing a few things here and there (GPS works fantastically, wifi tether works, everything seems to work) and then I'll make another nandroid backup in case I start messing with some other ROMs, though I doubt that'll happen. If it does, it's only out of curiosity, I promise!!
[Epic 4G Themes] traumahawk:
any chance you could release a change for this that made the notification bar solid black instead of patterned?? (and possibly the same for the drag down notification window- no pattern behind the "wifi" "bluetooth" "gps" etc icons on the top or on the bottom of screen. just all solid black) its the ONLY criticism of this theme that i have.

would be much appreciated :)
[Epic 4G Themes] MysteryEmotionz:
I'm not doing anything till I get EC05 in my hands.

If I do a one of a kind version of my theme I will not support it meaning it will not be upgraded. I already got to much time invested in this theme and its preventing me from working on other projects I have in mind or already started. I can ca not consume my time updating 2 versions of the same theme
[Epic 4G Themes] traumahawk:
i actually figured out how to make those changes myself. (just a matter of editing the png files in the framework and reflashing with cwm).

homescreen

version 1

now the theme is perfect :) (like i said before- that was my ONLY criticism of it)

and how different is ec05 gonna be from eb13 you think that it warrants waiting for release to work on new stuff?
[Epic 4G Themes] MysteryEmotionz:
Jumping from dk28 to eb13 wasn't to bad. For the most part I was able just copy everything over. There where so minor xml changes in eb13 that I had to adjust to. as far as ec05 goes I won't know how anything is untill I get my hands on it. I'm hoping to have my hands on a de-odexed version tonight so I can start playing around.
[Epic 4G Themes] traumahawk:
Ya i noticed a lot of dk28 stuff worked fine on eb13 (themes and such. the rom i used to use, TrulyEpic Rebirth, wouldn't run well so I switched to ACE). I am just uber excited to finally be able to make those changes myself and really make a custom theme custom to ME (or make my own from my favorite parts of a bunch). I dont know enough about the coding to do nearly as much as you guys... the whole .png edit thing is about where my knowledge ends haha. i'll definitely be keeping up with the updates for this theme. love it.
[Epic 4G Themes] mackentosh:
Dude! thats SWEET! I actually made that same request as well, he said he'd do it now I guess he's not so ill have to do it my self as well
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
He's busy and as he's stated, he threw his back out. He's not trying to spite you by not making it. There are tools to get you to do this simple edit yourself. Use them.
[Epic 4G Themes] Rivas123:
I guess he is your personal dev? C'mon guys this is a hobby these guys do. Noone should expect anything from anyone of these guys. They release because they want to. And when they do the least we can do is say thank you.
[Epic 4G Themes] MysteryEmotionz:
I threw my back out. Its my busy season at work (almost car show season) and now that ec05 is right around the corner I wouldn't expect anything untill ec05 is ready. I already have v1.6 running in my phone but I'm not releasing it untill I port it over to ec05. If I said I would do a one off for you just be patient and you will see it once I finish the port
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
Thread cleaned. Please keep it friendly in here. Thank you.
[Epic 4G Themes] mackentosh:
Sorry MyBad he just rubbed me the wrong way
[Epic 4G Themes] NYYFan325:
So since there is a new facebook app, how could I go about updating to it? I know the black facebook is included in this theme and when trying to update from the market it says installation failed. I've tried removing the 2 facebook apk's in /system/app but that didn't work either.

Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
Removing them and rebooting should work. Remove any data too.
[Epic 4G Themes] traumahawk:
@Mac- the tools were really simple. 7zip to modify the files. "the gimp" to edit the png files. the tutorials are in theimpaler's sig, on the main "epic 4g themes and apps" forum, and where i did most of my reading, androidcentral (im a VERY active user on there. only so so on here, no particular reason. i read it as much just dont post a whole lot here) forums on roms and hacks (check my post "want to be a dev", there was a lot of helpful links on there, some of them leading back to xda actually haha).

gimp tutorials on setting transparency are on google. gimp tutorials in general are on google too. its a pretty powerful program, but after learning basics its quick and easy and i like it better than any other program i've tried.

there is also a great post on android central about how to make your zip into a flashable cwm2 or 3 file. (again, you will have to poke around inside of a theme/rom to learn where files go within that zip, but once you look a little you'll catch on quick. i have only been trying this stuff for like 2 days and im already messing with stuff i didn't even think i could do without coding knowledge). a little asking for direction and tips, and a bit of reading and browsing on your own and it comes very quick. fun too. :)

ANNND if you want the file to make that background black.... pm me with your email and ill send a cwm3 zip with just the status bar edit your way. i dont want to put the one i made on multiupload, but ill make you a new copy and send it your way if you want it (the one i made i branded with "traumahawk was here". wasnt expecting to share it, and i'm not putting my name on someone elses theme. they did the work- i did a few mins of file swapping. but i can make you a new version with just a blank black bar on the bottom)

and ftr- Mystery (and ALL of ACSyndicate)... again. LOVE what you do. totally blew my previous themes out of the water. cant wait for the update. sprint needs to hurry their butts up! haha. so thanks for all the work you put in. making changes myself has really made me see how much time and effort goes into make these roms and themes for us. really, truly, greatly appreciated.
[Epic 4G Themes] MysteryEmotionz:
Thank traumahawk

yes that's scattered about. I'm not going to dig for anything when I can get it in house. I just are version of ec05 and I started working on that then I'll build my theme around that and hope it works on bonsia

One thing you may have to do is make a non reboot option one for bonsai as its not there any more...

It seems really difficult to keep up with theversions and which one i should have> i currently have bonsai 4.0 right now.. Don't know what version of your theme i should have... Please help if you can if not i need to uninstall..
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
Flash your rom again.

[Epic 4G Themes] MysteryEmotionz:
That's what the changelog is for and reading the thread. I don't have a version that's compatible 100% with bonsia 4.0. People have reported 1.6 works. When I did the theme for SFR I noticed the framework-res.apk and twframework.apk where un-touched in the xmls I edit. I can't speak for the rest of the xmls or the apps.

Right now the only way to uninstall is to reflash the rom like theimpaler mentioned.
[Epic 4G Themes] tcooper85:
ALright kool...How do i get 1.6? Do i need to donate?
[Epic 4G Themes] k0nane:
1.6 has been linked in the OP since 3/9.

I love everything about this...just one rather huge issue...neither my phone or contacts apps are working. The icons are now green android cards and when i select them nothing happens. It's almost like they don't exist on my phone anymore. I tried extracting the theme and installing the apks again with no luck. Help please?

Edit: nvmnd...reflashed the theme and alls good. Loving it
[Epic 4G Themes] andsamp:
On srf 1.02 and flashed this theme. Everything was perfect except I like the speedo battery icon so I used the battery icon app included in srf 1.02. As soon as I did that I lost the cool emotionless icons plus there's no icon for gps when I have it on. Any help. Not a samsung\sprint phone...its more like an ACS\SRF phone :-)

Contact theimpaler747. His app replaces the hole framework-res.apk and that's where 75% of the theme is located

Not much has changed. I added my black mms but after cleaning it up some. Themed the contacts.apk. And its ec05.
[Epic 4G Themes] theburninator13:

[Epic 4G Themes] MysteryEmotionz:
I wouldn't. There was some minor changes to things.
[Epic 4G Themes] hahansen3:
Thank you for this theme! It is by far my favorite. I just flashed the Transparent MMS Emotionless, and LOVE that as well. Excellent work! All I need now is this theme updated for EC05, and a way to remove haptic feedback from SRF 1.1.0 AOSP lockscreen, and my phone will be perfect! :D
[Epic 4G Themes] MysteryEmotionz:
Drop box is syncing now. Then I'm uploading to multiupload. I'll do a haptic removal for the rom since I did all the other mods
[Epic 4G Themes] BeerChameleon:
yay!!! did your internet get fixed? also have you had any testers for it on bonsai 4.0.0?
[Epic 4G Themes] MysteryEmotionz:
internet was fixed. some how my home apartment building became disconnected at the service box outside. (i blame the kids).

Reading the other theme threads and talking to people only one version is needed so yes it will work on bonsia

Thanks for the great work!

Just downloaded 1.7 opened it up to remove a few things I dont use and noticed the date modified dates for APKs are 3/13 and below, the Framework APKs are from 3/3 and 2/23 ? Also there is a folder \system\framework\framework-res\ that should not be there.

Is this the right file for EC05? would not the framework and APKs be newer?

Just did, now it says "Parse error -There is a problem parsing the package'

You don't push then click to install, you push and it's there and ready in the app drawer ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] burgerpimp07:
It's not working. I placed it in system/app. Not in app drawer :(

I don't see how that would work though, if I just push the .apk to system/app, how does my phone know it is installed?
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
Sounds like it's not actually the app. Was there a . before the name when you pushed it?
[Epic 4G Themes] burgerpimp07:
It's called Talk.apk. I downloaded the one the user in the previous page posted.

Ok, so just to make sure I'm doing this right. I just updated to EC05 and I'm on Syndicate. I want this theme though. Do I flash every file under the "Downloads" section on the OP or do I just flash the v1.7? I just want to make sure I do this right and it doesnt really explain how a new user should flash these.
